Sadly the Press freedom index of 'Reporters without Borders' has rated Brazil as 99th in the world ....... dropping from 44th ......... a big drop due to violence that has killed many journalists and bloggers ....... most people here in Sau Paulo are amazing ....... really very friendly indeed ......... that goes for all social classes ......... but this place can be a little tricky you do need to keep your eyes open ......... slightly tricky things can happen in the street if you do not stay on the ball ....... they say walls have ears .......... this one has a beady eye too :-)))))) ...............
